down by the seashore.

i think all the rain this weekend in san francisco has got me seeking sunshine. and, after spending some glorious days in the warm weather down in palm springs, i was ready for a little more, but this time in the guise of some time down by the seashore. who doesn’t relish some time away alone, tucked in cozily at a beach cottage? here’s an idea of what i’d like my beach cottage to look like – comfy, with a fresh, clean vintage-modern twist.

    Love all these rooms, so ‘me’. Oh i do love to be beside the seaside, anytime of the year.

    But right now in Oz, i’d love it to be winter, and sit inside with a cup of tea and watch the waves crash in. heaven.

    I’m about as far as it is possible to be from the seashore at the moment (sniffle, sob) in Austria but these are so evocative it almost makes it better, thank you!

    that little beach house in the top picture is what i hope to reside in one day… i shall not settle until i live overlooking the sea, preferable on top a cliff edge with several trailers, chickens and you know the rest…
    just looking at all these lovely images has stirred the longing inside of me :)
